Thank you, Ardis! I swear that the Spirit must lead you to these gems. They need to be assembled in a book in chronological order to illustrate that throughout the world the Kingdom grows slowly, quietly and steadfastly, just as the Prophet Joseph stated it would. These are so uplifting and it refreshes and renews my spirit just to read them. For myself, it also serves as a constant reminder to keep my own lines of spiritual communication open. I appreciate your efforts in gathering and preserving these accounts, but be sure to take some breaks at regular intervals to rest your eyes. You have us hooked on these authentic personal histories and we implore you to share more of them with us!

She sounds more mature in the gospel than many of us long-termers or lifers do, doesn’t she, kevinf? This letter really impressed me.

Nice. If only everyone could “…try not to forget…that the Gospel is perfect, but we are all of us human and weak. I’ll try to look for the good, not the evil.”

I’ve got some good friends that are struggling with that right now.

Glad you liked it.

What I liked best was near the end, where she is hoping for increased interest from her family members. But whatever they did, her faith had become too insistent to wait for them — she had to act, and now.
